Blue Ray Connection
Is there any difference between an HDMI cable rated at 1080p and one rated 1080/24p?
Re: Blue Ray Connection
This has to do with the film speed 24 fps vs 29.97 fps vs 60 fps vs 120 fps. It may also be expressed in Hz sometimes.
This will probably answer your question.

Hz (hertz) = Cycles per second
Two different measurements. Hertz, such as 60Hz and 120Hz for progressive scan devices such as the current crop of flat screens, is the number of times the screen is refreshed or redrawn within a second. FPS is how many frames are captured within a second and is used in reference to film. This might help a bit more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_rate
The i and p references interlaced and progressive scan. Interlaced is how older sets "drew" the picture on a tube screen, by doing odd lines first and evens on the next pass. Progressive is more modern and redraws all of the lines each time and is much clearer. This might help some more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_scan
Sorry for the technical description. An engineering geek and my Dad worked on televisions for 13 years and I guess I absorbed some of it. I hope that helps.
